Simply must go. As CEO he has led us backwards, and fast.
For those wanting him to stay but not be responsible for the ‘football side’ - let’s offer him a demotion to sales manager, on a fraction of his current (ludicrous!) remuneration package.
The Hibernian CEO must always be held accountable for the success of the club. Spare me the chat about revenue too, expenses are out of control under this clown.

He absolutely shouldn’t be involved in that though.

That’s before we get to the small matter of our first XI being on the slide for the last 3 years.
He leads the club, he’s failed.

Is there any member of any department/role off the pitch, specifically the heads of department, that anyone would be sorry to see go??
It won't happen, but I'd not bat an eyelid if the whole exec management team somehow got their jotters tomorrow.

Three duds appointed as manager in a row. Buck has to stop somewhere. Out and out stagnation on the pitch.
Everyone should be held to the same standards as the managers who keep getting punted.

Two bottom six finishes in three seasons. £5m debt run up chasing sporting success that has singularly failed to materialise. Has to be serious questions asked, we need there to be accountability for performances on the pitch and the CEO is accountable for it.

When an organisation is failing so obviously in one area, and the most important one at that, then there has to be a root and branch review and no one should be immune.
That's not a 'just sack everyone' opinion. It's just recognition that whatever we are doing isn't working. It's probably fair to say that Kensell and others are aware of their own shortcomings hence the desire to find external help both in terms of finance and expertise.

It's worse than that though.
They are happy making money at the expense of things getting better on the pitch. It's their number one target.
Sell a player for more than we paid and we've done our job. It matters not a jot if the player was any good whilst here. See Melkerson for exhibit A.

Previously we were told the Gordon's converted debt to equity or something and posters got shot down for saying they'd built up debts? It was suggested that we were £5m better off because of their generosity.

Melkerson barely kicked a ball for us. He certainly didn't contribute in any meaningful way to anything on the pitch whilst here.
But we point to the fact that we sold him for a profit as being success and of BK doing his job well.
I see the opposite.
I see the club only being interested in making money from player trading and having zero regard for how much the player contributes to the games he plays in.
Bojangles, Kennah, Jair, Mueller........ all examples of the strategy that failed.

There is a lack of clarity at Hibs as we do not fully know what he does. What are his paramaters.
I think what he says at times has a whole load of smoke and mirrors around it. I know a couple of people who used to be involved at Hibs and know of a couple of instances when he went way beyond his remit.
1. Marching on to the training field to berate Maloney in front of the whole playing squad
2. Interfering in player recruitment. Not player contracts which is all fine and well, but actually watching/choosing players. How is he qualified to do this
There are other things I've heard about which I cannot fully verify but I feel there is more than a grain of truth in them.
Some people on here say he is some kind of marketing wizard and has increases turnover massively. Well he oversaw a £4m loss last year, which cannot reflect well. I think he has hung around on the coat tails of the Gordons wealth.
Kensell is a major part of our problems and should leave.

The worrying this is the new hospitality will be empty - even looking at the seating map you can see the low number of tickets sold for this area.

The CEO is in charge of the whole football club.
They set the direction everywhere. He may not be involved with the footballing dept (I suspect he is) but he employs people to run that.
We are a football team first and foremost. The performance under his stewardship on the field has been entirely unacceptable. Petrie sacked Mixu for finishing sixth having beat Hearts at Tynecastle in the post split fixtures.
What I’d give for that level of footballing ‘failure’.
It win’t change though. I’ve been hoping Kensell would ‘learn’ for the last two years. He’s not.
His wages have went up though.

LD won the cup from relegation in 2 years.
BK has taken us from 3rd to this mess in 3 years.
Guys a ****ing clown. But he didn't hire himself. Ron Gordon hired him and Ian continues to employ him. That's our real issue.

Of course he’s accountable.
And I am absolutely sick to the back teeth hearing about hospitality etc.
We are a FOOTBALL club and we have completely and utterly failed on the pitch for the vast majority of his time with us.
I do not give a **** about wasting money on safe standing for his gimpy mates at Block 7 or shiny fancy bars for the select supporters who can afford them. I want to watch
Hibs do better than the likes of pishy Dundee and beating the St Johnstones of the league at home.''It's always been just part of the culture.
